Food Photography Workshop

Attended a really great food photography workshop yesterday and met some wonderful people. Sponsored by Adorama and facilitated by the amazing Lou Manna. They limit it to 10 participants so there is a great deal of one on one work. He's probably the number 1 food photog in the country. He reviewed my portfolio, gave me excellent tips for my workflow, and provided some great ideas for future gear purchases. Check out his site at: www.loumanna.com

2010 Photography

It feels great to be getting the new blog and website off the ground this year, and I'm so excited about the work and projects that are coming up.  One thing I read on another photo blog (MostlyLisa.com) at the beginning of the year has really stuck with me.  Lisa, who is a wonderful photographer and huge techie among other things, posted "10 New Years Resolutions Every Photographer Should Make". Number 4 really hit home for me: "I will not be hindered by the gear I do not have".  I've always been a gadget and gear guy, but over the last year I've realized that even though the photography business is not cheap and it's hard to do it on the cheap - I can still take great photos without having every piece of top-of-the-line gear.  It's also reassuring to know that others are dealing with this issue too. (Thanks Lisa!)
